Hanging Ball
I employ the hanging ball target. The hanging ball is placed over the end of the stick. The stick may be placed in any direction from the receiver base. The receiver is then angled toward the hanging ball. THe defense can angle their unengaged defenders toward the hanging ball. Once the board is turned on it stays on. In other words the receiver runs through the hanging ball and keeps on running. A better and faster game! I have found though, that on button hook, or come back passes, the offense is at a greater risk for interception. Now, sideline out patterns with a slight comeback angle to the sideline boundary is quite good, if for example you need 7 yards for a first down and your receiver is 10 yards down field. You might angle him toward the boundary at the target of 7 yards for a safe quick out pattern. We do this sideline out quite often!
